52. For mixed contracts for construction work and professional service, the Public Protector may also make a public call for tenders in 2 stages in order to award a contract.

In the first stage, the public body selects contractors by soliciting only a quality demonstration. The tender documents must indicate whether every selected contractor or only a limited number of them will be invited to take part in the second stage.

The selection committee evaluates the quality of a tender according to the following conditions and procedure:

(1)  if all the selected contractors are invited to take part in the second stage, the quality of a tender is evaluated in accordance with the evaluation conditions in Schedule 1 and all the contractors that meet at least the minimum quality level are retained; or

(2)  if only a limited number of selected contractors are invited to take part in the second stage, the quality of a tender is evaluated in accordance with the evaluation conditions in sections 1 to 7 of Schedule 2 and only those who obtain the highest final scores are retained.

In the second stage, the Public Protector invites the selected contractors to separately submit a price and a quality demonstration in conformity with the evaluation conditions in Schedule 2.
